M20 Chaos

As many of you would be aware, there was some bank holiday chaos on the M20 two weeks ago due to a bridge collapsing, it was said that a digger on the back of a lorry hit the bridge causing it to sheer away from the upright supports triggering the roads closure from junction 4 to the M26 both London and coast bound with immediate effect.

We were called on the Friday to commence the programmed 24/7 road closure due to the Client wanting to take advantage of the demolished bridge by refreshing all road markings and cats eyes.

The works lasted for the majority of the weekend the Sunday morning the multi mark, cats eye and screed crews had completed the works. All crews thoroughly enjoyed working on this project due to the client kindly providing a 24/7, free of charge snack wagon to keep the operatives fed and hydrated.
